I really enjoyed baking this cake because this is the type of baking that is comfortable and relaxing for me. It is stress relief baking at its finest. The aroma of cinnamon and nutmeg… Continue reading Delicious Blueberry Crumble Cake
Almond Pastry Cream and Marzipan Recipe
MARZIPAN!!!!!! After a subliminal prodding, I made some almond paste from scratch. Considering how much of the stuff a commercial bakery would go through, I made a very small amount, but I realized that I was only going to need a little bit of it to make the pastry cream to fill my Danish, so… Continue reading Almond Pastry Cream and Marzipan Recipe
Lemon Tart with Special Crust
It is a lemon tart made using whole lemons – zest, pulp, and juice, complete with a lemon infused tart dough. No waste in this kitchen, people! I decided on a whim that I wanted to make some sort of fruit tart, and was intrigued and inspired when I saw this recipe in a cooking… Continue reading Lemon Tart with Special Crust
Greek Stuffed Peppers
This was a great choice and something that I would have probably not chosen to make myself. These peppers are stuffed with lean ground beef, onions, zucchini, spinach, and bulgur and then sprinkled with salty feta cheese. I know many of my fellow bloggers substituted out the beef for a leaner white meat, which I… Continue reading Greek Stuffed Peppers
Lemon Blueberry Souffle Pancakes
Normally, weekend breakfasts in our house are lox bagels or eggs, and I do try to keep it on the healthy side. It is rare that we eat pancakes, or French toast, or bacon. So when we do decide to eat some pancakes, we always make luxurious pancakes from scratch. My current favorite pancake recipe… Continue reading Lemon Blueberry Souffle Pancakes

I heart low fat baking as it allows me to indulge without gaining a bajillion pounds. Anyway, this cake fit in perfectly with my ode to the lemon this week. It… Continue reading Almond Lemon Yogurt Cake
Low Fat Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

I posted a few weeks ago about these low fat chocolate muffins/cupcakes that I make and then freeze to eat as a quick grab and go breakfast. Ever… Continue reading Low Fat Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins
The Secret to Stracoto
I love pot roast. However, I have to admit that I don’t love the traditional additions of potatoes, carrots, etc. to the roast. I think this is mainly because I must eat pasta with a roast. It is a perfect accompaniment to the tender meat and the hearty flavorful sauce, but I don’t necessarily want… Continue reading The Secret to Stracoto
Vegetable Portobello Lasagna Recipe
This is one of those posts that I just can’t seem to find a way to start. So I will just say what I know to be true about these lasagna rolls, they are satisfying, delicious, and easy to make. I also like them because unlike an entire lasagna, there is built in portion control… Continue reading Vegetable Portobello Lasagna Recipe
Creme Brulee Lemon Homemade Goodness
I ended up making these twice. The first time around I tried to make a healthier version by using 2% milk instead of whole milk. I think I over baked them a bit and found the whole combination lacking flavor. So, back to the drawing board I went. When I set out to make these… Continue reading Creme Brulee Lemon Homemade Goodness
